wild-type enzyme to organic synthesis has been demonstrated in the regioselective acylation of nucleosides in anhydrous dimethylformamide (with 65-100% regioselectivity at the 5'-position), in the enantioselective hydrolysis of N-protected and unprotected common and uncommon amino acid esters inmore » water (with 85-98% enantioselectivity for the L-isomer), and in the synthesis of di- and oligopeptides

AbstractThe industrial alkaline protease, alcalase, is stable and active in a high concentration of organic solvents and useful as a biocatalyst for (i) diastereoselective hydrolysis of peptide esters and preparation of racemization‐free peptides; (ii) selective incorporation of esters of D‐amino acid into peptides in t‐butanol via a selective hydrolysis of esters of D,L‐amino acid, followed by using the unhydrolyzed D‐esters as a nucleophile in a kinetically controlled peptide bond formation; (iii) resolution of esters of amino acid in 95% t‐butanol/5% water, followed by saponification of the unreacted esters to offer both enantiomers with high yield and optical purity; (iv) completely resolve amino‐acid esters with high yield and optical purity via in situ racemization of the unreacted antipode catalyzed by pyridoxal 5‐phosphate; (v) cryobioorganic synthesis of peptides with increased yields 15%–40% of peptide bond formation by reaction at 5 °C instead of 25–30 °C of a kinetically controlled enzymatic reaction in alcohols.
α-Chymotrypsin-catalyzed peptide synthesis in frozen aqueous solution using N-protected amino acid carbamoylmethyl esters as acyl donors
A kinetically controlled peptide synthesis catalyzed by alpha-chymotrypsin was performed in frozen aqueous solution (ice, -24 degrees C). The yield of the peptide was significantly improved by the use of the carbamoylmethyl (Cam) ester as the acyl donor instead of the conventional ethyl ester. The peptide yield increased up to ca. 90% when N-benzyloxycarbonyl (CBZ)-Phe-OCam and H-Phe-NH2 were used as the acyl donor and nucleophile, respectively. Such an improvement of the peptide yield in ice was also observed in the coupling of other CBZ-amino acid Cam esters as acyl donors. Furthermore, this approach was applied to the synthesis of peptides containing D-amino acids. The peptides such as CBZ-D-Phe-Phe-NH2, CBZ-Phe-D-Phe-NH2 and CBZ-D-Phe-D-Phe-NH2 were also obtained in excellent to moderate yields in ice. A high diastereoselectivity towards the L-L peptide was observed when the racemic amino acid Cam ester was used as the acyl donor in ice. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The industrial alkaline protease alcalase has been found to be very stable (half life > 5 days in ethanol or 2-methyl-2-propanol) and active in alcoholic solvents (except methanol). Procedures have been developed for alcalase-catalyzed, kinetically controlled peptide bond formation in anhydrous alcohol(ethanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol). Studies of the selectivity of an alcalase-catalyzed reaction show that only L-amino acid acyl donors are substrates at the p-1 subsite of alcalase; at the p-1' subsite both D- and L-amino acid nucleophiles are substrates. Other amino compounds such as benzylamine and phenylhydrazine are good nucleophiles. Studies of the effect of the water content of the reaction solution on the yield in the synthesis of Moz-Phe-Leu-NH2 showed that the 95% yield obtained in anhydrous 2-methyl-2-propanol was decreased to 48% in 2-methyl-2-propanol containing 4.86% water.
